The family of Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy Alfredo Flores, who died after flames engulfed a mobile shooting range, is suing the Sheriff's Department. They allege negligence due to the failure to properly clean the trailer, leading to dangerous conditions. Upon arriving for a firearm test at the Castaic jail complex, the deputy encountered hazardous buildup that resulted in a fatal explosion. The family seeks accountability and changes to prevent future incidents, emphasizing the tragic impact on their lives, particularly that of Flores' four children and grieving widow.
This never should have happened. It was done with deliberate indifference by the county, and it has to stop.
With this lawsuit, we seek answers to our questions and accountability for the tragic incident that took him from our lives.
The buildup of unburned gunpowder residue, lead, and other combustible material caused the deadly explosion.
The family is requesting that the Sheriff's Department be prohibited from using mobile shooting ranges.
